AUBURN, Alabama -- Coming into the tonight's game at Auburn, Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace hadn't thrown an interception through the first four games of 2013.

He had completed 62 percent of his passes with 807 yards and four touchdowns on the year.

On Saturday, Wallace couldn't seem to avoid Auburn's defenders, as he tossed two interceptions and suffered six sacks in the 30-22 loss.

"I'm going to have to look at the film," Wallace said after the game. "We lost a lot of one-on-one battles. I don't think they were giving us a lot of pressure, it was pretty basic. I know they weren't really blitzing a lot or giving us anything like that."

Wallace finished the night 25-for-48 for 336 yards and two touchdowns to go along with his interceptions.

"It was just a bad throw," said Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze. "We had a good play set up. We had a screen, but Bo threw it up the field. It was pretty brutal. It hurt us. That was tough."

The second may have saved the game for Auburn. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Tigers were hanging on to a 27-22 lead when Cameron Artis-Payne fumbled near midfield. The Rebels took over, but Wallace gave it right back when Ryan Smith intercepted his pass.

Auburn kicker Cody Parkey hit a field goal moments later to close the scoring and give the Tigers an eight-point edge.

"We had our chances and certainly we can't give them points off turnovers like we did," Freeze said. "When you feel like you have to abandon the run a bit it can tee off, and that's what happened. We did not protect very well.

"There were two possessions where our receiver and Bo were totally on opposite pages. He thought he saw a signal, we didn't give him a signal. It was backed up and pretty loud. We have to be on the same page on those."

Wallace and the Rebels had opportunities to get back in the game in the second half, but didn't do enough.

"It's very frustrating," Wallace said. "Our defense gave us a lot of opportunities to win. We just didn't make the plays we needed to. They gave us the looks we wanted, but we just couldn't capitalize on it."

With the loss, Ole Miss will likely fall out of the rankings at 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the SEC. The Rebels return home for the first time since Sept. 7 next week, but the road doesn't get any easier as they host Texas A&M Satuday and LSU Oct. 19.

Wallace says he doesn't feel Ole Miss is losing control of its season.

"We're excited to get back in front of all our fans," he said. "A lot of guys feed off playing on the road, and I'm one of those guys. But we're happy to be back home."
